A 17-year-old child was sentenced to six months in an Israeli prison after falling in uncertainty after he died in Israeli detention, officials said.
His family said, before his arrest in September, Walid Ahmad was a healthy high school student because he allegedly threw stones at the soldiers. Human rights groups in Israeli detention institutions, which have taken thousands of Palestinians and gathered after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, have launched the fighting in the Gaza Strip, which has acquired thousands of Palestinians, using thousands of Palestinians.
Prison authorities refuse to rape any systematic rape, saying they are investigating the charges of error by prison workers. But the Israeli ministry, which oversees prisons, acknowledges that the conditions in detention institutions have been reduced to the lowest levels permitted under Israeli law.
Israeli prisons service did not answer questions about the cause of death. Only he said a 17-year-old child died in the West Bank in Megido prison, which was previously previously accused of raping Palestinian prisoners, “although his health is kept in secret. He said he was investigating all deaths in detention.
Khalid Ahmad, Walid’s father, said his son was a living teenager who liked to play football before being taken from his home on the occupied West Bank during a raid on a man arrested before morning.
Six months later, after several brief accounts of the court, which was not set for any trial, Walid collapsed on March 23 in a prison yard, and soon after that, Palestinian officials said, referring to the accountants of other prisoners.
The family believes that Walid suffered from amobis disease due to the poor conditions in the prison, an infection that causes diarrhea, vomiting and dizziness — and if left untreated, it can be fatal.
According to the Western-backed Palestinian Authority, which runs part of the West Bank, Walid is the 63rd Palestinian prison in the West Bank or Gaza to die in Israeli detention at the beginning of the war. Palestinian prison rights groups say it is about one-fifth of about 300 Palestinians who died after the 1967 war in Israel, when Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. The Palestinians want all three land for their future state.
The Palestinian Authority says Israel has taken over the bodies of 72 Palestinian prisoners who have died in Israeli prisons, including 61 since the beginning of the war.
Previous detainees told the Associated Press that Israeli prisons had deteriorated since the beginning of the war. They talked about beating, severe congestion, medical care, the spread of fat and poor health conditions.
The Israeli National Security Ministry, which oversees prison services, is proud of reducing the conditions of Palestinian detainees, “at the lowest price demanded by the law. He says the policy is aimed at preventing attacks.
‘Don’t worry about me’
Israel has gathered thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, saying they suspected armed. Most of them have been detained for months without charge or trial in something known as administrative detention, which Israel justifies the necessary security measures. Others are arrested on suspicion of aggression against soldiers, but their trials are constantly postponed because military and Israeli military services are collecting evidence.
His father said Walid was satisfied at least four times in court because of videoconference, but each time the judge was delayed and finally set the April 21 trial. Walid’s father says each meeting was about three minutes.
In a February hearing, four months after Walid’s arrest, his father noted that his son appeared to be in poor health.
“His body was generally weak because of malnutrition in prisons,” he said. He said Walid told him that he had fat – A infectious skin spot caused by the copies that cause severe itching – but was treated.
His father remembers that he would say, “Don’t worry about me”.
Khalid Ahmad later visited his son’s friend, who was previously a football friend and was detained in the same prison with Walid. The friend told him that Walid had lost weight, but it was good.
Four days later, the family heard that a 17-year-old child died in the prison. After an hour and a half, they received the news that it was Walida.
“We felt the same as all the parents of the prisoners, all the families and mothers of the prisoners,” Khalid Ahmad said. “We can only say ‘In fact, we belong to God, we are actually going back to Him.”
The cause of death is unknown
Walid’s lawyer, Firas al-Jabrini, has said Israeli authorities are demanding visits to his circle in prison. But he says three prisoners alongside Walid have told him he suffered from bone diseases, saying it was widespread among Palestinian youth detained at the organization.
They say they have suffered from diarrhea, vomiting, headaches and severe dizziness. He said they suspect the disease was spread by dirty water, as well as cheese and yogurt, which prison guards brought in the morning and were sitting outside the day while the detainees fasted for the holy month of Ramadan.
Megido, in northern Israel, is “the most violent prison for children under the legal age,” Al-Jabrini said. He said he was told that the rooms built for six prisoners often had 16 prisoners, some of whom were sleeping on the ground. Many complained about fat and eczema.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) spokesman Her Schreta said Walid had collapsed and lost awareness on the metal tree. “The prison administration did not respond to the demands of the prisoners to urgently monitor their lives,” he said.
Palestinian lawyers and officials both have said he should be examined to determine the cause of death. Israel has agreed to hold one of them, but no date has been set.
“The danger of this is that the Israeli occupation authorities have not yet taken any measures to stop this (disease) and have not done anything to rescue prisoners from Megido’s prison,” Schreta said.
